In late May, a heavy rain finally fell in Guanzhong, temporarily driving away the sweltering heat.
The sky after the rain is blue and transparent, a soft rainbow floats in the east, and a few white clouds with gold edges float and dissipate in the sky...
The dust settled onto the damp ground, and a slightly damp smell filled the air.
The trees in the courtyard are covered with water beads, like strings of shining silver beads.
Secretary Zhang was sitting by the window, with his hands folded, lying on the edge of the window eaves, looking out the window after the rain leisurely.
This heavy rain can be said to have relieved her worries for many days.
It is time to resume production in Guanzhong. If there is another severe drought, it will really make people miserable.
Over the years, God's temper has become increasingly weird.
Sometimes there are severe floods, sometimes severe droughts. It is warm one year and cold two years. It is really unpredictable.
However, God took good care of Guanzhong this year, and it rained heavily in time, so Secretary Zhang was in a good mood.
General Guan stood in front of the map with his hands behind his back, unable to see clearly the expression on her face.
Feng Junhou, who was sitting behind General Guan, threw the military report on the table with an ugly expression, raised his head and closed his eyes.
At the same time, he untied his outer robe, pulled the hem of his clothes and fanned each other a few times, as if the moisture after the rain had not driven away any heat from his body.
"Send the Wudang Battalion over from the beginning, not the Engineering Battalion."
Feng Junhou slapped him a few times, opened his eyes again, and sighed.
Shangdang is a closed basin surrounded by mountains.
Wei Yan did not go directly over the mountain from Hedong County, but deliberately went around to Taiyuan County, intending to go down the Nishui River.
I never thought I would still underestimate the difficulty of joining the Shangdang Party.
The various professional equipment of the engineering camp are difficult to transport on the rugged mountain roads of Shangdang.
Facing the dangerous pass leaning against the mountain, the equipment of the engineering battalion did not play the role expected.
Stone cannons can knock down city walls, but they cannot knock down mountains.
Wudang Camp is different.
If Modao Camp is a heavy infantry battalion, then Wudang Camp is a mid-mountain combat camp.
In an environment like that of Shangdang, the Wudang camp played a far greater role than the engineering camp.
Feng Junhou spoke, but neither General Guan nor Secretary Zhang answered.
Secretary Zhang was still lying on the window sill and looking out the window with interest.
Shuangshuang and Ah Chong were happily playing in the water in the courtyard.
Ah Chong jumped in with both feet and water splashed everywhere.
The two people next to him splashed with water on their faces.
They both saw the opportunity and jumped vigorously on another pool of water next to them.
"Bah!"
Ah Chong's face was also stained with water.
So he jumped harder than before...
Jumping around, the two started fighting again.
Finally it rolled into the muddy water, like a mud monkey.
Ah Shun stood in the corridor, jumping with his feet from time to time, and kept applauding his sister and brother.
His eyes were full of envy and adoration.
He also wanted to go down and play in the water. It would be better if he could roll around.
It was just that the pain from my mother’s whip afterward was so painful that I decided to forget it and just stand on it and watch.
General Guan turned his back to the window and concentrated on looking at the map. He tilted his head slightly from time to time to compare it with the sand table next to him.
Shangdang has not yet recovered, so the terrain sand table has not been drawn yet.
The upper part of the map on the wall was made up based on previous maps. Not only was it rough, but its accuracy was questionable.
The two wives were silent, but Feng Junhou himself was still talking:
"Wei Yan is an old man. If others don't understand, doesn't he understand too? How long has it been, and I don't know if I'll send someone back to say something."
This military report is an observation military report sent back by the military staff.
I thought it would be difficult to recapture Shangdang, but after all, the number of thieves was only a few thousand.
After sending Wei Yan, a fierce general, and the engineering battalion to cooperate with the siege, there won't be any big problems.
However, judging from the current situation, although it cannot be said to be a capsize, it is indeed unexpected.
I thought it would be a small to medium-sized battle at best, so most of the staff officers sent there were trainees.
But in Feng Junhou's opinion, those staff officers have no experience, and the old man Wei who has been fighting for a lifetime doesn't understand?
He actually stood there like that and didn't explain the situation to the rear.
Hearing what Feng Junhou said, Zhang Xiaosi finally turned around and rolled his eyes:
"You also know that he is an old man who has been fighting all his life? If he can't win a small party with the troops he has at hand, then where can he put his face?"
"Now he is the general of Zhendong. He has led so many people, and yet he has to shamelessly come to you for help. Aren't you afraid that he will not be able to hold his head high in front of you in the future?"
Feng Junhou groaned.
Even if Wei Yan can really win it in the end, there is still a difference in when he can win it and at what price he must pay to win it.
In the eyes of Old Man Wei, his own face was more important than the lives of his soldiers.
Think about it, how could you have done something like this in history, because you were ashamed and angry, you succumbed to Yang Yi and led the troops to start internal strife?
Secretary Zhang spoke, and General Guan tapped a certain location on the map and said:
"Based on the current speed, it may take a long time, and we may not be able to win it in the end."
When Feng Junhou heard this, he quickly stood up and approached: "What do you say?"
"Here." General Guan flexed his fingers and tapped Hanoi with his knuckles. "The main force of the Liangzhou Army is in the east of Hedong, so Jiang Ji may not dare to move for the time being."
"But if Shangdang delays for too long, he may not wait all the time."
One hundred thousand Wei troops were stationed in Luoyang, and 50,000 were stationed in Hanoi, across the river from Luoyang.
"Sima Yi is not a simple person. The total number of thieves in Henan and Hanoi is 150,000."
"It is very convenient to transfer 20,000 to 30,000 people from Hanoi to Yecheng. We cannot hope that the thieves will just watch us eat the Shangdang and do nothing."
Shangdang cannot be defended, not only Feng Junhou thinks so, he believes that Sima Yi can also see this.
So from the beginning, Wei Guo might not really have the confidence to defend it.
But if it drags on for a long time and Shangdang is unable to attack for a long time, then Wei will definitely react.
The fight was really going to turn into a fuel war. At this juncture, Feng Junhou was really not sure whether he could continue to use up his energy.
After all, both Lantian (corresponding to the direction of Wuguan) and Tongguan both have heavy troops stationed.
Bingzhou and Jiuyuan will also send troops there.
In addition, Wei Yan and some of his troops were entangled by the Shangdang.
The main force of Liangzhou Army has always stayed in Hedong.
Hu Qiyi was brought here to join the army, but he could not stay in Guanzhong forever. He had already followed the armored cavalry back to Liangzhou.
After all, there is no major war now. Staying here will only increase the logistical pressure.
The Hanzhong army sounds like a lot, but once they are divided like this, only the two brothers-in-law are left to lead the North and South armies as strategic mobile forces, and are also responsible for the task of defending Chang'an.
Because of this, Feng Junhou was extremely annoyed that Wei Yan could not capture Shangdang as planned and failed to explain the situation ahead in time.
"ordinary man!"
Feng Junhou cursed bitterly.
General Guan was much calmer. She shook her head:
"No matter how much we say now, it's useless. Even if we send the Wudang Battalion to support us, I'm afraid it won't be in time. I can only believe that General Wei can capture Shangdang even if it takes longer."
"Then what should we do? Can we just wait like this?"
Feng Junhou frowned and looked at the word Huguan on the map, feeling helpless.
"Alang, let's go to Hedong." General Guan suddenly said, "Go to Hedong for inspection."
"Um?"
Feng Junhou was a little stunned.
General Guan had been staring at the map, but at this moment he suddenly chuckled:
"With Alang's reputation, he can withstand an army of thirty thousand. If Jiang Ji in Hanoi knew that Alang was in the east of Hedong, he would never dare to mobilize a single soldier to leave Hanoi."
You must know that the Taihang Mountains and the ancient Weihan Road, plus the Wuguan Road, are now the last barrier of the Wei Kingdom, and there must be no room for error.
If Shangdang is lost, there is still Taihang Mountain.
But if Zhiguan is lost, Wei will have to fight Han in a decisive battle on the plains.
If you win, you can live on for a few more years.
If you lose, you will destroy the country.
When Feng Junhou heard these words, he touched his chin:
"This is a solution. But what about Sima Yi in Luoyang? Wouldn't he send troops to support him?"
The reputation of King Feng Gui might be able to scare Jiang Ji, but he certainly could not scare Sima Yi.
"Sima Yi will most likely not send troops to Yecheng."
After hearing the conversation between the two, Zhang Xiaosi finally stopped watching the children fight and came over:
"Judging from the news coming back from Xizuo so far, he didn't even go to the funeral after Cao Rui died."
"It's fair to say that the situation was urgent at that time, but now it is estimated that the whole Wei Kingdom knows that we are temporarily unable to go eastward."
"As an auxiliary minister, he is still staying in Luoyang without moving. What does this mean?"
Feng Junhou turned to look at Zhang Xiaosi: "What does it mean?"
"It shows that Sima Yi and Xuchang are indeed inseparable. The 100,000 troops in Luoyang are the foundation for Sima Yi to settle down. There is no way he can easily divide his troops and go to Yecheng."
"Besides, Yecheng is the place where the Wei State started. Cao Cao certainly doesn't trust Sima Yi to send troops there."
"On the contrary, it's Hanoi." Zhang Xiaosi came over and clicked on the map, "If A Lang really wants to lead troops and enter Hanoi, I'm afraid Sima Yi will fight to the death to save him."
If Yecheng is the birthplace of the Wei State, then Hanoi is the foundation of the Sima family.
General Guan next to him listened thoughtfully to Zhang Xiaosi's analysis and suddenly said:
"So if Alang really wants to go to Hedong, he can contain both Jiang Ji and Sima Yi at the same time!"
After saying this, the two women looked at each other and smiled in a tacit understanding.
Feng Junhou sitting in the middle is like Han Xian... Bah, like Emperor Xiaomin, just sit there with your ears and listen.
Do whatever others ask you to do.
Domestic affairs, state affairs, and world affairs concern everything.
After settling the state affairs, General Guan finally turned his attention to the courtyard.
The dispute between the leading sister and the leading brother in the Feng family came to an end at this time.
As per the old rules, both of them pushed Ah Chong into the muddy water and beat him.
Then he looked up and saw his mother standing at the window, smiling and looking at the two of them lovingly.
She was so frightened that she yelled "Wow", jumped up and ran away.
Ah Chong still didn't know what happened, and when he got up, he still said harshly: "Don't run away!"
Ah Shun hid behind a pillar, quietly poked his head out, and pointed a direction to his brother with great loyalty.
Then Ah Chong turned his head and saw the smile of death...
Feng Junhou looked at his child with a sad face.
These two children were enemies in the previous life and died together, so they were reincarnated together in this life, right?
On weekdays, as long as Ah Chong is not around, Shuangshuang is a well-behaved and quiet little lady.
On weekdays, as long as Shuang Shuang is not around, Ah Chong is a young man who studies seriously.
But as long as two people get within three feet, there will be a fight.
Lithium, potassium and sodium have to come into contact with water to react violently!
Regardless of Ah Chong being hung up and beaten by General Guan, Feng Junhou turned around silently.
"grown ups!"
Ah Shun appeared from behind the pillar where he was hiding, and ran over with his short legs and open arms.
"well!"
Feng Junhou responded, picked up Ah Shun, and bumped it over. It was better to have a second child. He would be obedient and not cause trouble.
After carrying Ah Shun to the small courtyard next to him, Li Mu greeted him.
"I've met Aunt Mu."
Ah Shun slid down from the adults and bowed.
"You don't have to be polite, Erlang."
Li Mu answered with a smile, touched Ah Shun's head, and then asked:
"Shuangshuang and Ah Chong got into trouble again?"
"how do you know?"
"Ah Chong's cry can be heard throughout the mansion."
From the corner of his eye, Feng Yong seemed to see a little man hiding behind the rockery in Li Mu's small yard.
Forget it, pretend you didn't see anything.
"You can't cry too loudly. I was beaten so badly that my skin and flesh were all bruised and my buttocks were bruised. I couldn't bear to look at it, so I brought Ah Shun here to have some quiet time."
The little man behind the rockery seemed to tremble.
"What about Shuangshuang?"
"Both of them are missing. They probably ran away. But where could she run? As a child, how can we not make mistakes?"
"As long as he admits his mistake, he is still a good boy. Ah Chong insisted on being stunned and insisted that it was the two who made the move first. He was not wrong, and that's why he was beaten miserably."
Feng Junhou and Li Mu were talking while walking towards the house.
When their figures disappeared into the room, they were both standing there covered in mud, wringing their hands, with a look of hesitation and embarrassment on their little faces.
Are you going to admit your mistake to your mother?
"I'm going to Hedong for inspection in two days. You should prepare yourself and follow me."
Li Mu was stunned: "I want to follow you too?"
"Yes." Feng Yong nodded, "Because this trip will not only go to Hedong. After the matter in Hedong is resolved, we will also go to Yanmen and Jiuyuan."
"Xinghanhui will not only open a mine there, but also a workshop. You should go there first and familiarize yourself with it in advance so that you can be prepared."
Li Mu always responded to Feng Junhou's arrangements.
Only this time, there was some hesitation:
"But the child..."
There are three children in the family, all of whom are only two years old and have just been weaned.
"Siniang and Amei are not going. They will stay in the mansion. There are doctors and wet nurses in the mansion, so don't worry. Shuangshuang and Ah Chong came here in the same way back then."
One wife and one concubine go out with him, and one wife and one concubine stay in the house.
Very fair and reasonable.
When Li Mu heard what Feng Junhou said, naturally he could only nod in agreement.
"Where's the child?"
"Asleep in there."
Li Mu gestured to the inner room.
Feng Junhou walked over quietly and saw Ah Shun lying quietly beside the couch, staring at his brother.
"Erlang, you must take good care of your brother from now on and don't let him be bullied."
Feng Junhou sat by the couch, looking at his sleeping son, feeling calm in his heart.
This is your own flesh and blood, connected with your own blood.
Ah Shun nodded repeatedly after listening to the adults' words.
Li Mu next to him saw this scene with a smile on his face.
Then Ah Shun suddenly asked:
"Sir, what if my sister and brother bully my brother? I can't beat them."
